Printing methods
There are two ways printers are set up on IBM i. The first uses Remote Out Queues, the second uses Device Descriptions.

Remote out queues (RMTOUTQ)
The name is self-explanatory. Instead of "writing" to a local OUTQ on the IBM i, a file can be sent to a printer set up as a remote OUTQ.
